RFI remains committed to advancing responsible finance & equipping financial institutions in Islamic markets with essential tools. The expanded Financed Emissions Database provides data to form a deeper understanding of the role that finance plays in economy-wide emissions risk.

The enhanced Financed Emissions Database facilitates a nuanced exploration of greenhouse gas emissions indicators derived from financial institutions' portfolios in six #GCC nations, #Malaysia, #Indonesia, #Türkiye, #Pakistan, and #Bangladesh. https://t.co/4QrbD1Y7tW

📢 The Philippines has been unanimously chosen as the host country for the #LossAndDamage Fund, granting it an independent legal personality.

[Josh Gabbatiss @Josh_Gabbatiss]

At the heart of the #SB60 climate talks in Bonn is a big document that everyone hopes will form the basis for a new goal on climate finance.

Right now it's a mess because it's full of countries' divergent views on what that will look like. Quick 🧵 on some of those views...

Research published at the start of COP28 found that climate finance globally is concentrated in developed countries and China."

"While all countries will need to cut greenhouse gas emissions if the world is to limit global warming, many of the poorest are struggling with ever-stretched budgets and a global private sector reluctant to invest in emerging and developing economies. [quote continues]

ICMA sustainable #sukuk guidance brings flexibility and risks for issuers with limited #green assets https://t.co/9FYRZQ0AkX @sharingrisk @RFIFoundation

[Blake Goud @sharingrisk]

As #TransitionFinance develops, it strikes me that there hasn't become a go-to example that defines the category, let alone what would be required for it to incorporate characteristics of a #JustTransition. With green finance, it's "solar". What is the transition equivalent?

Transition finance has grown in adoption even as sustainability linked financing has slowed. Its commonalities with 'use of proceeds' finance make it a potentially more effective tool especially for #EmergingMarkets and #DevelopingEconomies. https://t.co/MwSudujvBz

Wonderful photo. An important reminder of the importance of #GlobalChoices work for a 10 year moratorium to protect the Central Arctic Ice from exploitation. @GCArcticAngels https://t.co/vPU5Zuvk1C

There needs to be a redoubled effort to drive finance in the direction of alignment with the transition. International private #climatefinance will need to rise by 15 times from current levels. #ResponsibleFinance https://t.co/EzkOWknTil

[Blake Goud @sharingrisk]

There's been a considerable effort put into improving guidance relating to #ResponsibleFinance and promoting alignment around baseline standards. @RFIFoundation commented on a two that are particularly important for financial sector stakeholders in #OIC markets & #IslamicFinance

[RFI Foundation @RFIFoundation]

RFI provided detailed comment on two pivotal exposure drafts which we believe will improve the consistency, comparability and usefulness of the guidance for stakeholders of banks in #OIC markets, including #IslamicBanks. https://t.co/kLZc0YObbQ

@get15rock Could reflect ESG risk aversion, but challenging to see investment in #TransitionFinance if this can't be overcome. One thing we found was that #IslamicFinance screens can help investors pick & choose as they investigate lower #ESG scoring companies.

Following the conclusion of #COP28 last year, #OIC financial institutions should focus on how the final declaration points towards key risks and opportunities arising from #ClimateTransition risks & their role in the #EnergyTransition. #ResponsibleFinance https://t.co/8nBkInGThP
